My review:

Highly anticipated book three of the Coastal Guardian series!

You do not have to read the other books to understand the story, but I recommend it for a deeper connection and understanding of the characters.

This book is gripping and catches your attention right from the beginning. However, since it is a mass shooting, it strikes a little close to home, diminishing my enthusiasm a bit. Also, there are a LOT of moving parts. At one point, I said "It's just too much," put the book down, and walked away for a bit. There are two main romances, plus multiply action points. For me, a person who has a hard time keeping a lot of characters straight, it was a struggle. However, it all comes together nicely, and I followed it enough to say I enjoyed the book. 

Thank you to Bethany House for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Synopsis:

A DEADLY ATTACK.
A STOLEN WEAPON CAPABLE OF IMMENSE DESTRUCTION.
A PAINFUL SECRET THAT THREATENS TO TEAR TWO HEARTS APART.


CGIS Agent Noah Rowley is rocked to the core when several of his valued team members come under fire on his Coast Guard base. He and his remaining team race to the scene and end the attack, but not before innocent lives are lost. Furious and grief-stricken, he vows to do whatever is needed to bring the mastermind behind the attack to justice.

Stunned by the ambush, Coast Guard flight medic Brooke Kesler evacuates in a helicopter carrying the only surviving gunman. The gravely wounded man whispers mysterious information to Brooke that immediately paints a target on her back.

As Brooke and Noah race to uncover answers, emotions between them ignite. Noah struggles to protect Brooke at all costs and to conceal the secret that prevents him from becoming what he longs to be--the right man for her.

Everything is at stake as a horrifying truth emerges. . . .

The attack wasn't the end game. It was only the beginning.
Bestselling author Dani Pettrey again delivers a fast-paced story in an acclaimed style readers have come to love: full of snappy dialogue, thrilling adventure romance, and unexpected plot twists.
